but they did agree to come to farmville and meet with students and their parents there. and after seeing how dedicated these parents and students were to their cause, they told them that they would be willing to take on their case. but it was on one condition, and that condition was that they would seek integration rather than equal facilities. a year earlier, in 1950, the naacp had changed direction and decided that equal facilities were never going to be enough and that they needed to seek desegregation in schools and in all facets of public life. and so the students who had this core committee of students who had planned for months this walkout actually had to take a vote on whether they were going to agree to go along with what the naacp was asking. and according to students who were there, their decision to go along with this only won by one vote.

. >> let me ask and again i will start -- of course the 2014 farmville made a number of reforms to the farm safety net ten we strengthen and expand the crop insurance, for specialty crops and hops as any specialty crops as we expand i think it will be interesting to see what other opportunities there are. also to provide incentives for beginning farmers. when producers approach your institution for loans, how do you take the safety net programs into account and how important are things like crop insurance, particularly for beginning farmers when you're looking at potential borrowers. >> that has been a key topic of focus about this committee and of congress here through the last two years. were very pleased to get a farm belt last year that included a strong crop insurance program. ice really think it's one thing that the banks and ourselves can agree upon. it is vitally important to the producers out there and particularly the future that has revenue coverage for many of these producers because that's a critical issue we have out here. most are the producers in the marketplace today c
